T1 Predictive Control Based on the Third-Order Laguerre-Volterra Model: Application to Regulate a Humidifying Process JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 2006 FD 2006-11-01 VO 37 IS 7 SP 619 OP 649 AB This paper proposes a new predictive control algorithm developed on the third-order nonlinear Laguerre−Volterra model which results from the expansion of discrete Volterra kernels on an independent Laguerre basis. The coefficients of such model are obtained by exploiting a new estimation technique of Support Vector Machines (SVM) based on the Statistical Learning Theory (SLT) that yields a unique and optimal solution. The new proposed predictive control algorithm is applied for the regulation of the humidity inside a drying blower.
